Fuel pump does not prime 200 1979

'79 244. When the key is turned to the on position, the fuel pump does not run. When the key is turned to start, it cranks but does not run (presumably due to lack of fuel) when the key is turned from start back to run, the fuel pump primes and the car can then be started normally. It starts every time I need it to, but I don't know if this is will progress into not starting at all. Previous owner said that a mechanic said that it could be the ignition switch. Would that make sense? Is there anything that you would inspect first?
